Bomb Effects

[farside 6]

I've recently started a new project and part of it is a bomb.

I have the bomb in game, configed etc however I would like a script to run as soon as the bomb has hit the ground but I really don't know where to start.

looking for something like

_bomb1 setdamage 1

_bomb1 execVM "script.sqf"

or

_bomb1 getpos = 0

_bomb1 execVM "script.sqf"

how would i go around scripting this and implementing this into the addon so that the user would not have to use scripts in their mission?

Thanks guys.

(searched already though event handlers, bullet effects and various napalm scripts [these seems to spawn bombs below the plane, not really what I'm after])

The only way I know (I'm poor with config stuff) is to add in the config of the weapon, that would fire the bomb (a bomb launcher;inside its cfgEventHandlers), "fired" eventhandler. Inside it put a code, that will track bomb's (a fired projectile) position until bomb is gone. Then you have last known position of the bomb, means point of explosion, and time of explosion (moment, when bomb is gone). With such data you probably could then to script anything you want at bomb's explosion.

Ok so,

after much work and swearing i have kinda rigged together a script, now my scripting knowledge is less than average and now one of the scripts doesnt seem to want to execute, the damage script to be precise. so far I have:

_bullet = _this select 6;

_dir=getdir _bullet;

_planedir = getdir plane;

_oldpos = [];

//////

//////

if ((_this select 4) != bombtype) exitwith {};

No-one dies or is even slightly injured. I put a hint "executed" at the start of the damage sqf and i receive that message but still no injuries.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

(yes the scripts are pre-made by other authors, permissions and all credits will go to them on release.)

Solved it, added a

_destroy = createvehicle "HeliHEmpty" getpos _pos

[]= exec damage.sqs

then in damage.sqs changed all the names from _pos to _destroy.

the damage.sqs was trying to call on the _pos, i made it a fixed position so that the damage.sqs could start there.

Cheers anyway folks!
